A qualified professional must be commissioned with creating the foundation.
We recommend having the foundation reinforcement approved by a qualified engineer or technician
before concreting.
The necessary bearing capacity of the subsoil is 200 kN/m². This value must be checked for
correctness and documented by the site manager in charge. A substratum expert is to be called in if
there is any uncertainty.
In regions and with soils at risk of frost, further measures must be taken to ensure frost protection,
e.g. frost-proof sub-base or lean-mixed concrete fill down to the frost line.
A formwork and reinforcement diagram for the particular foundation, as shown below, can be obtained for
each DEGERtraker on request
– you must observe the instructions given in the diagrams! This diagram will
be sent with the order confirmation. The diagram shown is only intended as a sample drawing.
Creating foundation
1st Step:
-
Excavate top soil
-
Insert conduit for cable (not in picture)
-
Install formwork (Foundation dimensions, see page II-4)
-
Lay bottom layer of wire-mesh steel Q257A Item1 into the formwork (cut into the formwork)
-
Insert a spacer to ensure minimum concrete coverage (5 cm).
